UGGG!!!! You all have helped clear up my confusion. I had my mirena put in July 2008. I didn't seem to have any adverse effects...at least not anything big enough to question the mirena. I had acne and a little weight gain, and then my knees started hurting. Then over the last month I started getting this stomach!!! It's huge!! I look 6 months pregnant. I also noticed that I was getting a lot of headaches, and extreme mood swings. Then it got harder and harder for me to read the TV from the couch. I was wondering last night if I should go get my eyes checked. I also find myself wondering who has taken over my body. I get all angry and mean!! I can't believe the stuff that comes out of my mouth, and my husband is looking at me like I've lost my mind. I feel thirsty all the time, and I have dry skin and chapped lips a lot. I've also experienced constipation, chest pain, pain in my right breast, extreme abdominal pain, like when you ovulate. After I got it in I bled for a month straight and I haven't bled since...not one period. I thought it was a perk, but now I feel so strange. It's like an out of body experience. I also struggle to find energy for anything, I'm tired all the time. I feel like I'm falling apart. I had to pay for the mirena out of pocket because it was the beginning of the fiscal year for our insurance, and so I(because of the expense) decided I should leave it in. I appreciate your comments, no amount of money is worth what I'm experiencing!

The only side effect I have experienced so far (I am on the second month) is chapped lips. I use Aquaphor and it helps a lot. The rest of my skin is no drier than before I started Accutane. I also had a mild headache for about the first week but that very well could have been my allergies. I haven't experienced any of the other symptoms listed and I actually feel better than ever mentally and physically.

I'm 16 and i started taking Accutane about two months ago. i was on the medication for three weeks and had to get off it. The first week i feel like my body was being bond into a rubber band ball and then being bounced around it killed but i figured it fade but then i was having suicidal and violent thoughts, i was short of breathe, crying daily, fighting with everyone, throwing emotional fits, blacking out, dizziness, headaches, hot and cold flashes, back pain, i was isolating myself, and blaming my self for everything. I also had the minor side effects of chapped lips, bloody noses, dry skin, and muscle cramps. Luckily my boyfriend noticed and told me to get off it.

The major effect I have had is that I get an extreme case of chapped lips during the time taking the doxy and for about a week after.

I had headaches with prilosec and nexium so I switched to aciphex which is great for my headaches but I still get frequent heartburn which I guess could be a result of my esoph. ulcer which is not yet healed. I have chapped lips, sometimes anal pruritis, pins and needles in my legs and I was having very large b.m.s in the beginning but now am contstipated.

i reciecved a 40 miligram of kenolog in my right hip about 3 months ago. About 2 weeks later i started to get a dry mouth, severe anxiety, loss of appitite, horrible night sweats, hot flashes, weight loss, throwing up, not seeing as well, dentation on right hip,chapped lips, tremendence amount of energy, agitation, no pain, basically flying high!!! This injection was for my allergies. I had no idea that all of these things were due to the kenalog. I thought that i was possibly loosing my mind. I started to think that my hormones had gone hay wire or that my adrenaline was out of wack, i just coulnt figure it out all these things that were happening to me, and then it dawned on me that it could be the kenalog so i called my allergist and asked about it and he said yes it can give you anxiety. He then prescribed some pills for me for relief. Oh yeah!! I forgot that i got infected hair particles on my face which turned into staff infection!!I had no idea that it was also caused from the kenalog but it was, all of it was!! I was really really scared!! I was also very aggressive. I had it all and now i have---- so much neck pain. I have had two doctors say never get one again. Yes it did help my allergies!! Oh did i forget i had horrible axiety too??

I have been on Aciphex for three weeks and have experienced dry mouth, chapped lips, constipation, general vagueness and "slowness", troubled sleep and bloating. Does anyone know what the recommended period is to take Aciphex?

I have been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for about 2 in a half months. I had started a period in the middle of my first set and they said that it would just take time..well i haven't had a period since. I have had UTI and pregnancy test and they were both negative. The doctors thought i was crazy and I felt helpless and thought it was because i hadn't taken them regularly enough. My symps were nausea/vomiting, yeast infection,sore/tender boobs, dry skin, cold sores, chapped lips, excess sweating (so much to where id wake up with wet hair), dizziness, rash,hair loss, depression, joint pain, horrible abdominal pain(like bad cramps),back pain, no appetite which i lost about 10 pounds in 2 weeks, headaches, and i hadn't had a period in two months. All these symptoms happened in about a two week span. I was freaking out about it because the doctors told me it was just stress but i was sure that something was wrong..i was talking to my mom because i was really scared and upset & she asked what birth control i was on and i told her. She looked at the package and saw it was Loestrin -->FE<--(iron)..no one in my family can take iron and it makes them very very sick. Im going to the doctor tom again to tell them that and im almost positive that this is the reason. I will let you know when i find out.
